Patent EP-1579141-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RYTTER JAN
IPC: F16L33/01
Filed: 2003-11-26
Abstract: A pipe structure comprising a length of a flexible pipe connected to an end fitting, the flexible pipe comprising an armour layer and an underlying pipe layer the armour layer, the underlying pipe layer having an outer surface around which armouring wires of an armouring layer are helically wound. The pipe structure provides a coupling between a flexible pipe comprising armouring wires and an end fitting, the coupling exerting a relatively low bending or flexure strain on the wires during normal operation of the flexible pipe. The transition path of an armouring wire between the flexible pipe and the end fitting comprises a straight-line-section between a wire-pipe-exit-point where the wire extends away from its underlying pipe layer and a straight-line-end-point on a support unit of the end fitting where the armouring wire in question has its first tangential point of contact. This has the advantage that in a loaded situation where the armouring wires will elongate elastically leading to a change in the helical angle of the armouring wires, the pipe structure will experience a slight twist and a controlled bending of the armouring wires on the surface of the support unit (due to a possible change in the base point of contact of the armouring wire with the support unit induced by the change of helical angle), thereby avoiding substantial bending of the individual armouring wires, which is of particular importance when the armouring wires are formed of a composite material. The pipe structure may be used in flexible pipes for the off shore transport of fluids (e.g. oil).

Abstract: A latch circuit is disposed to an output terminal of the respective stages of a
shift register circuit, when a pulse is shifted to a stage to which an output is wanted to be
outputted, a latch pulse is inputted and held there until a subsequent pulse is inputted,
when the pulse is shifted to a stage to which an output is wanted to be outputted in the
next time, a latch pulse is again inputted, and thereby an output stage is switched. Thus,
a period to be selected and a stage to be selected can be arbitrary selected by changing a
latch pulse without changing a clock frequency.

Title: Audio playback system and method for playing back an audio signal
Inventor: MELCHIOR FRANK
IPC: H04R3/12
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: An audio playback system is divided into a central wavefield synthesis module (10) and a multitude of decentrally arranged loudspeaker modules (12a-12e). Synthesis signals for the individual loudspeakers and corresponding items of channel information, which are assigned to the synthesis signals, are calculated in the central wavefield synthesis module. The synthesis signals for a loudspeaker together with associated items of channel information are then transmitted to corresponding loudspeaker modules via a transmission link (16a-16e). Each loudspeaker module receives the synthesis signals and associated items of channel information that are intended for the loudspeaker assigned to the loudspeaker module. A decentralized audio rendering and digital-to-analog conversion takes place inside the loudspeaker modules in order to decentrally generate the actual analog loudspeaker signals in spatial proximity to each loudspeaker. The division into a central wavefield synthesis module and a multitude of decentralized loudspeaker modules enables the production of audio playback systems that can be scaled with regard to price in order to offer different size systems, which can be scaled in terms of price, for, in particular, cinema playback spaces that vary greatly in size.

Abstract: Method for operating a packing and transport system comprises sterilization of contaminated articles in a contaminated but microbe-impermeable, gas permeable packing. The package is then, optionally after removing part of it, re-sterilized in a transport tube (11) and fed to a clean room (9). An independent claim is included for recontamination-free feeding of syringes, optionally fitted with needles, into a clean room for filling and sealing. This comprises fitting microbe-impermeable, gas permeable lids (7) on sterilized tubs (1) containing the needles and enclosing them in a microbe-impermeable, gas permeable wrapping. This is then removed and the outsides of the tubs and lids re-sterilized in a transport tube. Re-sterilization is carried out by feeding a hydrogen peroxide/water vapor mixture into the evacuated tube so that it condenses in a layer on the outside (10) of the sealed tubs. It is then removed by a second evacuation step, so that neither vapor mixture nor condensate can reach the syringes in inadmissible amounts.
